Google Launches YouTube Kids App on Android and iOS

Google on Monday officially unveiled a YouTube app aimed at children, which it called the “first Google product built from the ground up with the little ones in mind.”

The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Google was expected to introduce YouTube Kids today. Google’s announcement confirmed several previously reported details, such as the large and colorful interface, the timer settings and some of the launch content. The free app is launching in the U.S. on Google’ Play store as expected, but also was made available on Apple’s App Store.
